Great First Look but I am a bit confused. If this is available initially in a few select markets for NEW customers only and the RVU client is not available, doesn't this mean that the only NEW installation that it can be used in is a 1 TV setup?? (I am presuming that the number of current new clients with multiple RVU enabled TV's is 0) Or will they install H25's with MRV on additional TV's until the RVU client is released?

Not gonna lie here. Stuart does a majority of the work on those. Without him itd likely be in some plain boring format. We just add little tid bits and he ties it all together working his magic.

Well, the testers do provide a lot of input in both the text that makes up the body as well as contributing pictures. It's true, Stuart makes it look great but the testers volunteer their time time and effort too.

Good work to all and thanks to Stuart for putting it all together.

µßSince it costs 1.66¢ to produce a penny, my 2¢ worth is really 3.32¢ worth. That 3.32¢ is my own and not the 3.32¢ of DIRECTV, Dish, or anyone else for that matter.

The 100SLs is a big step too - there were some rumors floating around that it was limited to 50 which isn't the case. I know there was a certain tester that couldn't wait to get to 51 and take a picture!

Just curious. Did I miss a step??

Not 100% sure, but I know it will MRV to H25s (or anything else for that matter) so that may be how they plan on implementing it.

Opinions expressed by me are my own and do not necessarily reflect
those of DBSTalk.com, DIRECTV, DISH, The Signal Group, or any other company.

Yes. I only have one TV, so the MRV thing is lost on me, but I do like bunches of tuners. I take it that this would match my SWM5 and replace my HR21 and HR20. If I add an AM21, how many tuners can get OTA?

What are the physical dimensions of the box? I see in the picture that it is larger than the HR24 but not by much and I didn't see actual dimensions listed anywhere. I'm trying to figure out whether this will fit in a 2U rackmount slot like the HR24 or if it will require 3U.
